Thread: rserv

Hi,

I am looking for a replication system  for postgres,
Both sites must be able to update the data. synchronisation would
happen every 5 min or even less.

- I have read the pgreplicator site. It sounds good for me, but it
doesnt seem to work with postgres v7.2
=> Does someone know if it's still maintained?

- Usogres doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for.
=> True?

- rserv: can't find any doc or site
=> Can anyone help?

- Other replication projects seem not to be far enough in the
developpement process for a 7/24 production system.
=> True?

Any help would be welcome.

We use the commercial version of rserv, from PostgreSQL Inc., in a
fairly high-visibility application with strict, less-than-5-minutes
SLA requirements.  We handle fairly large volumes of data.  You can
see the results by doing a whois for any .info domain, at
whois.afilias.net.

It works well for us.  I have no clue how much it costs -- you'd have
to ask PostgreSQL, Inc.

AFAIK the rserv in contrib/ is broken for 7.3, but I might be wrong.

I haven't tested any of the other systems.
